She looks up at me, then gives me a sexy little smirk. “You were supposed to pay first.”
I break into laughter, a real one that pulls amusement from deep down in my chest. I pick her up and kiss her hard again, my heart full and my head fuzzy. That’s when I remember why I’m here, what I have to do, and what that will mean for Liza and me.
Fuck.

“Don’t think for one second that you’re not paying up. My girl was gonna—” Eve trails off when she gets a good look at Crane and me. Her eyes widen in surprise. “Back it up. Hold on a second here.” Now she’s aimed her attention at me.
“What?” Crane’s hand that’s holding mine tightens. My whole body is buzzing still. Crane storming the stage when he saw me and going all caveman possessive has me falling harder for him. Actually, I think I’m done falling. I’m in love with him.
“You can’t let her go out there looking like that. Oh my God! No wonder Clark was pissed all the way off. You better drive under the speed limit for the rest of your life. Which better be spent in Snow Hills after this.” She waves her hand up and down at me. Thankfully, we’re still in the back hallway, so no one is witnessing this.
“What?” I glance down at myself. Crane pulled my dress back into place. I still feel his release, though. It’s slowly trickling out of me and coating my thighs.
“Clark can fuck all the way off.”
“Crane, everyone already knows she’s yours. She doesn’t need to go out there looking thoroughly fucked.”
“What!” I squeak this time. How the heck does she know what we did?
“You’re with me.” Eve grabs my other hand and tries to pull me back toward the room Crane and I exited moments ago.
“Give me a second.” I squeeze Crane’s hand. He’s not letting me go, and I’m about to become the rope in a tug of war battle between the two of them. With Eve’s competitive nature, I know I need to nip this in the bud before I possibly lose a limb.
“I’ll wait.” He doesn’t look happy about it, but he lets my hand go only to fold his arms over his chest and stand there in the middle of the hallway as Eve pulls me back into the room.
“It smells like sex in here,” Eve says the second the door closes behind us. My face starts to warm. “See? Look at you. You’re blushing, and it’s only me. We need to touch up your makeup and fix your hair or everyone is gonna know what Crane and you did.”
“Is that terrible?” I bite the inside of my cheek.
“Not really.” Eve laughs. “But maybe your mom doesn’t need to see all that.” She motions at me again. I walk over to the mirror in the green room to see what she is talking about.
“Oh, crap.” It does look like I was well fucked. I thought she was just guessing, but there’s a difference in my appearance. It’s not only my hair, makeup, and clothes being a little disheveled, either. I actually look a little different. I have a glow to me or something. Who knew sex would make me look this way?
“Did you two really—”
“Have sex against that door while Clark banged on the other side of it.” I fill in for her.
She bursts into laughter. “I thought he just saw you like this. I didn’t know all that.” She laughs harder.
“It was hot,” I told her.
“Crane storming the stage was something else. It was like it was plucked right out of one of our naughty holiday romance books. I think I actually like him.” She smiles at me in the mirror.
“Well, I’m glad because I think I’m in love with him,” I admit out loud for the first time.
“That’s probably good because that trash can is empty so I’m guessing you didn’t use a condom.”
“Eve!” I hiss. It shouldn’t surprise me in the least that she checked.
“Just sayin’.” She shrugs before spinning me back around to start fixing my hair. In no time, she has me put back together.
“Did everything go well with the rest of the auction?”
“Yeah, I think once some of them realized you weren’t up for grabs, they opened up to bidding on others.”
